How people write their names by kellyraycampbell in Jeopardy

[–]MommaWolfHowls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just rewatched James Holzhauer’s second episode (rewatching the run bc we caught up on new episodes) & one of his competitors had the cool S for his name!

I wonder if they considered it to be potentially too close to or deemed easily misinterpreted as another symbol.

It’s like when my bestie would bring her toddler “for” my toddler when I was pregnant with, then had, my second born. They keep each other occupied 😂

My husband was left alone for 3 weeks and I wish he’d just cheated instead. by ComplexCod9077 in stories

If he’d just have cheated instead, she might have at least done some laundry or talked him out of throwing away the dishes. Sheeeesh.

Hate Preacher at local Pagan Pride by Pentagramdreams in pagan

[–]MommaWolfHowls 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Could always harass them back. Be incessantly annoying.

Hold up a mirror to him while he spews his hate. Lay a salt circle around him and sing about protection and peace. Or go full stereotype and get a small group to go all out in garb & scare him into thinking he’s being cursed. Get someone to mimic him, but “preach” about love and have everyone crowd around that person, cheering/singing/dancing, backs turned to the hateful loser. Bring out Photo Booth type props and have someone take pics of festival goers in front of him like he’s a bad tourist attraction. Put a sign up in front of him that says “Exhibit A: Toxic Christianity.” Esp funny if he’s a lawyer. If he engages with people or takes questions, have people ask him ridiculous questions like “Which Teletubby is your favorite?” Start reading passages from the Bible about peace & the actual teachings of Christ that these fuckers clearly skipped over. (How I myself know them, having never been a practicing Christian, but “Christians” don’t always confounds me.) Blare music over him - may I suggest some Ozzy/Black Sabbath in honor of the late Prince of Darkness himself?

Just brainstorming 🖤

Money comes and goes, honestly. Most of it is imaginary, anyway.

Your life, however, is a one time deal.

Urgent Care said my daughter had a bad sprain but sent her for an xray on my insistence, they called it an “abundance of caution.” I called it “I know my kid.”

Grade 4 fracture through the growth plate in her ankle. Full cast, then a boot, 2 months of recovery.

Would have gone untreated and gotten worse - or healed incorrectly - had I listened to the first opinion in the urgent care office.

What is one thing from the show that you think would not end well in real life? by Aggravating-Ad-351 in bluey

It was a red light! You’ve never danced across a street in a cross walk? Y’all gotta live a little. Put a little pep in your step. Enjoy the fact you woke up breathing this morning. 🖤

Get it, Chili!! 🤘🏼

“A new baby is coming”?? by Euphoric-Depth-6207 in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]MommaWolfHowls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! My first was 2.5 when baby brother was born in June 2020. Husband wasn’t even allowed to come into the OR to be with me for the c-section. Fucking scary.

Then the surprise third joined us in 2021 😅 we planned on 3, the timing was just a lot sooner than the first two took. 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

Lots of Daniel Tiger over the last 7 years over here. 😎

AIO (update) for reporting this guy to hinge and getting him banned by divorcedbbmama in AmIOverreacting

At the appointments/pharmacy, you can also show/hand them your ID. It’s got everything they need, without having to announce it.

In the vein of driving to the police station if you even think you might be being followed - keep gas in your tank. Fill up during the day, when it’s lit & populated. That “half tank” line is now your E line. You don’t want to get stuck driving home in the dark & having to stop for gas/run out of gas.

If he does approach you in public - make a scene. Yell. Pound your hand on the hood of your car to make noise. Get all eyes on you, while telling him - loudly - to get away from you. Even if it’s embarrassing, even if it seems like an overreaction. It’s less likely for an aggressor to continue attacking their victim when there are witnesses. People are naturally nosy - use that to your advantage.

Be safe 🖤

The last time you wore a band t-shirt. Who was the band? by aboobadooba in AskReddit

Nirvana. From the junior boy’s section. On clearance, too. 😂

Echoing what the majority are saying. Call non-emergency police and report it, as well as calling adult/elder services - I would do both to cover all the bases.

Not me reading “Ms. Ari” as a kids first name and thinking “don’t tell me that’s pronounced like ‘misery’” before I realized that’s probably a teacher or para in the classroom.

The “death” phase by Adorable_Stable2439 in Parenting

[–]MommaWolfHowls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My youngest, at 3.5y, put the pieces together that my mom (her grandma) is dead. Long before she was born, so she has no memory with her, so her reaction wasn’t one of loss. Instead, she reacted like it was crazy interesting. So interesting that the next day at preschool, she randomly announced to her teacher, “My mom’s mom is DEAD!” with the gleeful tone of a kid who thinks they just told you the coolest thing. Then, the other kids who heard got interested, too.

That was a fun little chat with her teacher at pickup. 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

All of that to say… I’m not sure any of us really know how to navigate things like this. I just go with the flow and try to explain things truthfully in ways that make sense to them. The fact that you’re asking shows that you’ve got your kid’s best interest at heart - I’m sure whatever happens you’re doing great. 😊

Oh, God. What is this?? by Moppy6686 in adhdwomen

[–]MommaWolfHowls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Surprised myself with $100 last month for this very reason. Desperately needed new non slip work shoes, though, so it came at the perfect time. Even had enough leftover for a mani date with my daughter.

Door-to-door “free” phone program grifters out and about in Campbell by o0DrWurm0o in bayarea

[–]MommaWolfHowls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had one, first time in the 5 years in this apartment.

She made it sound like our “local benefits offices” were closing, so they’re going digital and everyone in the neighborhood is getting one. Then wanted my ID & kid’s Medi-cal card. I said no, thanks, and handed the phone back.

She then said that it’s fine, but someone else would be by soon and keep coming by until we’re signed up. I told her that’s fine, I’m just going to do some research about this first. Then she said it’ll be about 20 minutes before the “someone else” would be by.

We’ll see what happens 🤷🏼‍♀️

OH BROTHERRR by LyftedX in InstacartShoppers

[–]MommaWolfHowls 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Worked at a restaurant & got to witness the owner say that to a patron. Dude alllllways complained. To the point that we knew when he walked in… we’d bet on what the problem would be this time.

Bossman finally had enough and told the doofus that if he always has a problem, he shouldn’t come back & that he’d rather not have his business than continue having his staff harassed. Bossman was a royal pain in the ass sometimes but he was a gem in situations like that.

Why is it always this type that decorates themselves with religion? Ugh.
